    Love you all

    Good DFW things
    • Charge phone in work - done
    • Work some overtime - done but not as much as expected

    • Also realised I forgot to brag about my uber yellow sticker bargains yesterday. I got £15.48 worth of food for 76p :money::j
    Slip-ups
    • OH not in for dinner so he will probably buy something - OH came back and ate, but this means he has driven to uni and back twice instead of once. Also he is having a meeting in the pub. Still cannot drink because he's driving.
    • Forgot to do the Kenco rewards
